Handbook of Research on P2P and Grid Systems for Service-Oriented Computing: Models, Methodologies and Applications Two Volumes [Hardback]

"This book addresses the need for peer-to-peer computing and grid paradigms in delivering efficient service-oriented computing"--Provided by publisher.

The conjunction of peer-to-peer architectures and grid systems is fundamental to the creation of performance-driven service oriented software platforms--in short, to the implementation of distributed computing, Web services, and business process modelling. For this two-volume handbook, 46 contributions from a truly international roster of experts were shaped by four editors based in the UK (three affiliated with the U. of Surrey and one with Brunel U.), with the help of an eight-person editorial board and a long list of reviewers. A sampling of topics: peer-to-peer search techniques; efficient resource discovery techniques on DHTs, service-oriented architectures for pervasive computing; managing the future internet--services, policies and peers; mobile consumer devices; efficient large-scale group communities; scalability and robustness (e.g. dynamic overlay networks, fault tolerant decentralized scheduling); and security (e.g. trust calculations and management, fairness in asynchronous collaborative environments).
